him and the chancellor and treasurer of Ireland to make many and divers
provisions of victuals for the king's use in Ireland, and to cause them to
be sent to the port of Skynburneyse near Carlisle, because he needs many
sorts of victuals for the maintenance of himself and his army with which
he intends to set out against his Scotch rebels next summer: he orders
the justiciary to cause proclamation to be made in all cities, boroughs,
and other market towns where he shall think fit, prohibiting the holding
in the meantime of any fairs or markets, whether belonging to the king or
to others, by which such provisions may be in any way hindered so that

To Master Geoffrey, the pope's chamberlain. Although the king, as he
lately informed (mandaverimus) Geoffrey, intended to send special letters
to the pope in the matter of the prebend of Massham in the church of
York, which John de Columpna, son of Landulph de Columpna, contends
that he has by papal provision, he has for certain reasons omitted writing
at present, but he desires and requests that Geoffrey will inform the pope
concerning the process of the matter and the right to the collation to the
prebend that pertains to the king by reason of his royal dignity, in
accordance with what the king made known to him not long ago, and
that he will do this in the best way that he can, superseding wholly in
the meantime the execution of any process by him, since the king does
not believe that it is the pope's intention to deprive the king of his rights
or to derogate from them in any way, but to keep them uninjured and,
if need be, to augment them. [Prynne, Records, iii, p. 801.] |
Dec. 12.
Durham. |
To the treasurer and chamberlains of Ireland. Whereas the king needs
divers sorts of victuals for the maintenance of himself and of the army
with which he intends to set out against his rebels, the Scots, and for this
reason has ordered John Wogan, justiciary of Ireland, Master Thomas
Cantok, chancellor of Ireland, and the treasurer to cause 8,000 quarters
of wheat, whereof 6,000 shall be in boulted flour so that no bran shall
remain therein and shall be placed in barrels, and the remainder shall be
in grain pure and dry and not in barrels, and 10,000 quarters of oats,
2,000 quarters of ground malt, 1,000 tuns of wine, 500 salted carcases of
oxen, 1,000 bacon-pigs (baconibus), and 20,000 dried fish to be prepared in
Ireland as speedily as possible for the said expedition, and to cause them to
be sent to the port of Skinburneyse near Carlisle, so that he may have
them all ready on the eve of Whitsunday or at that feast at the latest in
the said port: the king orders them to cause payment for the preceding
and for the carriage thereof to be made from his treasury there, either
in the whole or in parcels as the provisions may be acquired. In case
his money now in their custody is insufficient to make such payment,
they shall provide and procure money by loan to be contracted in the
king's name and by other good ways and means by which the provisions
may be best and most quickly got together and made ready, so that
the king may have them at the said day and place by all means; for
which he wills that satisfaction shall be made by them out of the first
moneys of his that shall come to the exchequer of Dublin. They are
exhorted to exert such care and diligence in executing and completing the
premises that the king shall not be baulked of his intention, and they are
enjoined not to omit to do this in any way as they cherish the prosperous
expedition of the king's affairs and as they would avoid his wrath. |
